Ulyssa
& I were dumped on a rural country road in Rowan County
KY. The man that found us was unable to locate our owners so he took us
to the already overcrowded county animal shelter. Unfortunately he had
kept us long enough that we were considered owner surrenders and that
meant we could be euthanized immediately for space. Lucky for us a
rescue called
STAR
that works with the county animal shelter pulled us hoping to find a
Great Dane rescue that could take us. Then our luck turned bad again
when the Dane rescue that had said they would take us backed out because
we were too skinny!!! But the volunteers of STAR did not quit they
immediately started contacting other rescues and when they contacted
Harlequin Haven they agreed to take us immediately!!! Plus the great
volunteers with STAR even transported us to HHGDR the very next day!!!
We are now safe and we are enjoying the food, soft beds, toys and
especially the air-conditioning!!! We are being fed several small meals
a day because we are very skinny but to make life even better we are in
out of that excessive
heat!! No dog should have to live outside especially in 90 - 100 degree
temperatures. We are very happy and loving Danes
and we greatly appreciate all that has been done to save our lives!!

I only weigh 100 pounds and
should weigh at least 120 pounds. I unlike Ulyssa am not shy I
am a very outgoing and just plain happy!!

Update July 8: I
now weigh 112. Grandma says apparently we guesssed wrong on how much I
should weigh because I don't look like I have gained 12 pounds!! Oh
well, I sure
have enjoyed eating, being cool and playing with my toys!!

Update July 22: I now weigh 120 pounds!!! I was
neutered on Friday and all is going great!! I still have about 10 pounds
to gain so it will not be long until I am ready to find that special
forever home!!

Update August 5:I am now ready for adoption!! I
am so happy!!! I am a very sweet and loving boy and would love a forever
family that would treat me like a Dane is supposed to be treated--with
love and kindness. However I do have a lot of energy for a so-called
older boy, and would love a family that would play and romp with me!! Are you that family?? Check out my new pictures
below!!

Update: I am still looking for my forever home!! One of
the Danes told me Santa was going to bring it to me! Check out my new
picture below!!! Of course NOW I know they were pulling my leg!

Update: WOW can you
believe a handsome Dane such as myself is still sitting here at the
rescue waiting for the right forever home??? I sure can't!!

Please can you spare a
few dollars to help the Rescue continue to help me and other Danes like
me? It would be greatly appreciated. Without the Rescue who knows
where we would have ended up!!
Thanks,
Ulysses
